I swung by today and in addition to the sign, I was able to speak with the owner, Andrew and manager, John. They didn’t have many more details to share. Just that all the cats are doing fine and they look forward to reopening. They promised when they have more information, they would send it our way.
The kitties would love your support, though! Consider picking up a gift card, some …
In describing the scope of the need, Blake Garfield (of Bedrooms and More, a major force behind the parade for many years), chairman of Celebrate Wallingford’s board, told us back in November “It costs roughly $10,000 …

Just after the turn of the year to 2023, Seattle City Councilmember Alex Pedersen announced that he would not seek re-election to the District 4 seat that he has held since 2019.

I am sorry to report that the Wallyhood Crime Beat Desk has been busy of late, even busier than the usual background drumbeat of petty and not-so-petty property crime might indicate.

On Sunday, January 29, Changes celebrated its 34th anniversary. Ryan from Changes emailed us with the announcement:
